About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 836 · spoilt 35 · special votes 0 · All 2 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)
PR ballot figures for this ward are the sum of the IEC's results for its 2 voting districts; the IEC publishes the ward ballot per ward and the PR ballot per voting district.
Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 2 voting districts here (2 705 of 5 546). The IEC publishes 51.1%.
The winner's share of registered voters is calculated: the winner's votes on the IEC's ward ballot ÷ the registered voters of the ward's voting districts.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 756 vs 2 382; DA 454 vs 1 388; MKP 362 vs 913; SDP 335 vs 914; EFF 213 vs 640; HOPE 205 vs 605; ActionSA 186 vs 580; MHRF 100 vs 157; VF PLUS 49 vs 166; I.Q.Z 37 vs 115; LABOUR 31 vs 57; AST. 24 vs 39; SACP 20 vs 47; AIC 15 vs 20; INGUBO 6 vs 12; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 28; ACP 3 vs 6; ACDP 0 vs 1; ADP 0 vs 2; AEM 0 vs 2; AIPO 0 vs 1; APC 0 vs 3; ATM 0 vs 27; H.U.C.D 0 vs 10; IFP 0 vs 35; PA 0 vs 12; PAC 0 vs 3; SPP 0 vs 2; TRUTH 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 96. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 51.14%; its own counts give 48.77% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 50 times in 2 voting districts. In local elections the IEC also publishes each party's total across the ward, PR and DC 40% ballots. For these parties (by IEC party number) that total differs from the party's votes on the ballots themselves. We show each ballot's own votes. Each voting district's own page lists the IEC's figures.
Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Steve Tshwete's DC 40% result.
